2.1) COMMITTEE requesting to rescind previous approval of Board Report 1-18-22-2.1
regarding transition of providing tether services to a third party pending
discussions with interested parties

FROM: COMMITTEE ON COURTS & PUBLIC SAFETY – 2.1 MARCH 22, 2022
At the January 18, 2022 Board Session, Board Report 1-18-22-2.1 was approved based on
Communication No. 1-18-4 from Mary McLaughlin, Community Corrections Manager, requesting
approval to transition Saginaw County away from providing tether services directly to defendants and
use a third-party contractor.
We met with Mary McLaughlin, Community Corrections Manager, at our March 10, 2022 meeting to
discuss the previous approval of Board Report 1-18-22-2.1 regarding Saginaw County transitioning
away from providing tether services directly to defendants to avoid further loss of revenue.
Commissioner Boyd raised the question as to whether or not the judges or the Community Corrections
Advisory Board had approved of shifting away from providing tethering services directly, and they have
not. Undersheriff Gomez indicated that he and Mary have spoken to the judges multiple times
regarding the program and the waiving of fees.
Ms. McLaughlin stated that she had looked over 10 years of budget information and that the program
is $160,000 in the hole, continuing to lose about $30,000 - $40,000 every month, and that Community
Corrections does not have the budget to continue funding it. Mr. Belleman stated that though the
County currently funds the program, state statute does not require it. There is currently an RFP out for
bids regarding tethering services that has a deadline of March 15 th, but Mr. Belleman indicated that if
5|PageBoard of Commissioners – March 22, 2022
the committee so wished, the deadline could be pushed back until after the March 22 nd Board Session
pending further direction of the Board.
We recommend approval to rescind the previous approval of Board Report 1-18-22-2.1, transitioning
Saginaw County away from providing tether services directly to defendants and to use a third-party
contractor to avoid further loss of revenue, until such conversations with interested parties can be had
to discuss the matter further.

The motion carried unanimously.
FROM: COMMITTEE ON COUNTY SERVICES – 3.1 MARCH 22, 2022
Your committee considered Communication No. 3-22-6 from JoAnn Crary, President, Saginaw Future,
Inc., submitting for approval its first quarter report (October 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021) and request
for $87,875 in performance-based funding pursuant to the First Amendment of the Saginaw County
and Saginaw Future Services Agreement.
Your committee met with Tom Miller, who presented to the committee Saginaw Future’s first quarter
report, along with their request for funding. Mr. Miller stated that the report includes Saginaw Future’s
performance based funding metrics. Commissioner Krafft inquired as to how the totals for the jobs
created are counted, which Mr. Miller stated that the numbers are not projections, but actual jobs that
were reported by the companies. He also assured that the value of contracts is based upon the
contracts that have been awarded, but not necessarily down to the exact date that funds have been
spent
We recommend approval to grant Saginaw Future, Inc. $87,875 in performance-based funding
pursuant to the First Amendment of the Saginaw County and Saginaw Future Services Agreement.
Further, that the proper county officials are authorized to perform the necessary budget adjustments.

FROM: COMMITTEE ON COUNTY SERVICES – 3.2 MARCH 22, 2022
Your committee considered Communication No. 3-22-10 from Robert Belleman, Controller/CAO,
requesting approval to modify County Policy #351 – Travel, to permit overnight accommodations for a
multi-day conference or meeting regardless of distance to and from the normal worksite.
Mr. Belleman informed the committee that the prospective amendments being made to County Policy
#351 would eliminate any reference to the distance from the county. The current policy restricts
overnight accommodations for a multi-day conference or meeting to hotels within the region and/or
County because of the close proximity to the normal work location. This would allow for County
employees to attend more after-hour networking opportunities while at a conference or meeting.
We recommend approval to modify County Policy #351 – Travel to permit overnight accommodations
for a multi-day conference or meeting regardless of distance to and from the normal worksite.

Technician position. This position was previously classified as a Grade 10. Mr. DePelsMaeker completed
a PAQ (Position Assessment Questionnaire) which was submitted to Baker Tilly. Baker Tilly responded
and reclassified the position as a Grade 12. The requested increase of $7,024 in wages reflects the
change in classification for this position.
We recommend approval of an increase to Maintenance’s FY 2022 Budget – Salaries & Wages in the
amount of $7,024 to account for a status change for the Maintenance Worker III HVAC Technician
position that was reclassified by Baker Tilly from Grade 10 to Grade 12. Further, that the proper county
officials are authorized to perform the necessary budget adjustments.

Purchasing/Risk Manager, requesting approval to use $35,000 in 2022 Capital Improvement funds to
replace the Prosecutor’s county-owned vehicle.
15 | P a g eBoard of Commissioners – March 22, 2022
Your committee met with Kelly Suppes, who informed the committee that the County Prosecutor, John
McColgan, hit a deer with his County-owned 2010 Ford Taurus. The repair estimate that Ms. Suppes
received was $5,000, which exceeds the fair market value of the vehicle and is not worth fixing. She
does not have a vehicle for him currently, and therefore does not have a price, which is why she is
requesting up to $35,000.
We recommend approval to use up to $35,000 in 2022 Capital Improvement funds to replace the
Prosecutor’s county-owned vehicle. Further, that the proper county officials are authorized to perform

Your Budget/Audit Committee met with Doug Deeter, Auditor from the CPA firm of Rehmann, who
reported on the progress of the County of Saginaw Audited Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year
ended September 30, 2021. A draft of the Audit was provided to the Budget/Audit Committee
members and for distribution to all other commissioners. (Comm. No. 3-22-29)
The Auditors indicated the County of Saginaw has six (6) months to submit its Audit to the State of
Michigan to comply with State laws. Should the County not file its Audit within this deadline, the
County could incur financial penalties. The audit is in the final stages of completion but will not be
finalized until after today’s Board Session.
Accordingly, we recommend the Controller/CAO submit the County of Saginaw Audited Financial
Statements and Management Letter for the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2021 to the State of
Michigan on or before March 31, 2022, upon completion. Further, that the Board of Commissioners

Commission on Aging Director, requesting approval to change the Foster Grandparent Program
Assistant Personnel Control Number (PCN #238009) from part-time to full-time status with minimal
cost of approximately $11,000 to the agency.
Your committee met with Jessica Sargent, who explained to the committee that the Foster
Grandparent Program staffing levels includes one full-time Program Coordinator and one part-time
Program Assistant. They have tried to fill the part-time Program Assistant position multiple times, but
it has remained vacant. After re-visiting the staffing complement and workload of the program, it was
determined that changing the position from part-time to full-time would be a better fit for the function
of the program responsibilities.

Whole regarding the Mosquito Abatement Property and sale/relocation.
Your committee met with Robert Belleman, to discuss the matter of the sale/relocation of the Mosquito
Abatement Commission property. Mr. Belleman stated that the Board really had two questions to answer:
18 | P a g eBoard of Commissioners – March 22, 2022
1) Should Mosquito Abatement Commission & Maintenance Department relocate? If so, 2) Is the Public
School District of the City of Saginaw interested in purchasing the Mosquito Abatement Commission
property in its entirety? And, if so, at what price? Discussion was held regarding what properties would be
available for Mosquito Abatement Commission and Maintenance to move to and which would best suit
their needs. The committee indicated that they believed the best potential site thus far for the move would
be the property on Davenport.
We recommend approval to allow the Controller to engage in negotiations with the Saginaw School
District regarding the potential sale of the entire Mosquito Abatement/Maintenance property.
